The perfect all-around boat??? ( post 1 of 1)
I am thinking about getting a new boat, and would like some opinions as to what the perfect all around boat might be. v-hull? cat-hull?

I live in the Seattle area so I have access to small lakes, a very large lake that gets rough, and the ocean that has a bunch of small islands that are fun to go visit around Puget Sound.

I have a family of five kids, so I think a bow rider of some type is a must.

I like to be able to tow the kids and/or wake board and ski.

I definitely have the speed bug and like to go fast at times. (90-100 would probably suffice)

If it is too big, it wont be fun on the small lakes.
If it is too small, it wont handle the rough well enough.

What do you think?

Chris

I don't have kids, but a lot of friends that I like to hang out with, and that is why I like the 32 Sunsation MCOB. Its the best of both worlds. Open bow when needed and also the speed. I have twin 496ho's and, being my first upcoming year with, have heard it should do 83-85 pretty much anyday of the week and maybe a little quicker with a light load. Best thing would be to check their website out.
